Taking advantage of the first 10 days

Dalam 7 hari yang kita ada, Jumaat is the best day. Lepas tu, dalam byk2 bulan pulak, Ramadhan is the most blessed. Tapi... jeng jeng jeng.. kalau combine semua2 sebenarnya, the most blessed days are the first ten days of Zul Hijjah. So macam mana ngan the last ten days of ramadhan pulak? Okay pening. First ten days of Zul hijjah and last ten days of Ramadhan, dua dua pon blessed. Tapi first ten days of Zulhijjah tu waktu siang dia better than waktu siang last ten days of Ramadhan and sepuluh malam terakhir Ramadhan tu better than sepuluh malam terawal Zulhijjah. Pehe dok gapo ambo nop oyak ni? Haha

Serious, dalam 21 tahun hidup kat dunia ni, saya tak penah tau pon. Haih kecewa ngn diri sendiri. Tu la banyak sangat tido, mungkin time ustaz bagi kuliah maghrib kat integrasi dulu, saya tido krogh2 agaknya cuk3. Sempat lagi tido walaupon cikgu asmui jaga ngn rotan kat blakang surau haha.  

Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) has said about the first ten days of Zul Hijjah:

"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." The people asked, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except in the case of a man who went out to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing."

[Bukhari]

Jadi apa kita boleh buat dalam these 10 blessed days ni?

• Hajj and Umrah. 

Ni the best lah for sure. Kalau da ada sumber duit sendiri tu maybe shd set a fund for it now and yang penting make du'a that Allah will open a way, insyaAllah :)

• Fasting 

hanya utk org yg tak buat Hajj. Fasting ni utk the first nine days sbb hari ke sepuluh dah raya kan and it is emphasized on the 9th of  Dhul Hijjah sebab:

Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked about the observance of fasting on the day of `Arafah. He said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year and the current year.'' [Muslim].

Wow kan? Kalau renung-renung balik, tahun lepas, berapa banyak agaknya dosa dah kita buat? Haih

Best ni sbb maghrib kat sini pukul 430pm yes!

• Zikr
• Repentance 
• Extra voluntary deeds 

prayers(tahajjud), charity, reading Quran 

• Pray the Eid Prayer (obligatory)
• Sacrifice an animal

Last year's raya dah missed. Tahun ni miss lg hm.

I hope this year will be better, more than fasting on the 9th or "yay raya haji" feeling. Berusaha!
